Artist: Shannon Soldner

Artist: Shannon Soldner 

Shannon Soldner, an oil painter, discusses her work on figurative art and the narratives we construct for ourselves. She explores the interplay between truth and fiction, reality and perception, and the concept of individuals as unreliable narrators in their own lives. Shannon's dedication to her craft is reflected in her evocative artworks, which challenge conventional narratives and offer viewers a fresh lens to explore human existence. The conversation delves into the themes of art, storytelling, and human behavior, exploring the use of the female figure in art, the concept of storytelling through visual art, and the interaction between the artist, the viewer, and the artwork. It also touches on the artist's personal journey and the influence of experiences on artistic expression.
